Description

Instructions

  1. The snuggle blanket for this Elephant snuggle is a basic granny square. With double crochets. I’ve gotten the basics from Heather on little tin bird. Abbreviations Rnd = Round ch = chain slst = slip stitch sc = single crochet hdc = half double crochet dc = double crochet dec = Use the invisible decrease, insert your hook into the front loops of the next two stitches, yarn over draw through the first two loops, yarn over through the remaining two stitches inc = 2 sc in next stitch FLO = Front loops only BLO = Back loops only Start Cluster = chain 3, 2 double crochet Cluster = 3 double crochet For instructions I recommend PlanetJune on youtube. Her online tutorials are very easy to learn Magic ring Invisible decrease Changing colors Ultimate finish This basic granny square is made with clusters of 3 double crochet. The first cluster always starts with a chain 3, and follows up with 2 double crochet (The chain 3 acts as a double crochet). Between every cluster there is a chain 1, except on the corners, in the corner there are 2 chains.
